Today is last day of week 8.
Time to harvest the ladies.
Friday was their last day of light.
Lights have been off until today 24hrs so far. And they will remain out until I decide to chop at some point today.
My last feeding was Wednesday or Tuesday. I like the soil to approach almost fully dry on my last Projected day.
The dark period, 68° house temp, dry soil, and the diminishing light schedule. Let the ladies know their time is up.
This particular grow I would let them go another week. They seem mostly done with all the pistils orange, brown, or reddish in color.
Just seems 1 more week wouldn't hurt them.
But with my hernia surgery on Tuesday. I need to do these things early. Because I'll have recovery time which will prevent me from doing the hard stuff (lifting, moving, transplanting, etc.)
So my plan is harvest today, hang dry today.
Hopefully by the time they are ready for trimming or jarring I'll have healed enough from the surgery to handle it.
Once plants are done hang drying.
I will transplant the (rootbound) clones into bigger pots readying them for their veg phase before flower.
They need a little tlc veg time because I used nothing but water for the clones the past 8 weeks. I wanted to (see/experiment) how far the roots 707 soil could carry them without nutrients.
Turns out they ran into deficiencies big time and they need a couple weeks of fertilizer feedings to nurse them back to health.
So far the past 3 feedings have shown improvements in all plants.
But the second they are healthy again, They are getting flipped to flower.
With the large # of tops these clones have. They don't have much starting room to begin with.
My first grow had 4 tops.
This 2nd grow has 16 tops.
The 3rd grow will have 27 tops.
So this projected 3rd grow is gonna really push the limits of my 4 sq ft tent. I'm trying to find what the perfect number of tops is per square ft without affecting yield/quality.
